Social Media is all about Transparency, and showing that you are actually a human not just a business. To stay on that path I feature the newest members of our team here so you can get to know who is behind our software, who is on the other line of the telephone and behind the email. I would like to introduce you to Meredith Klein-Hertzel, Program Manager.

Background: I was born in Daegu City, South Korea and was adopted when I was 5 months old.  I spent my first few years in Massachusetts and then we moved to Connecticut where I lived up until I went to college.  I swore to myself that after high school I would move as far away from Connecticut as possible.  I moved back to Connecticut less than a year after I was done with college.

College: I went to Bentley University in Waltham, MA where I majored in Information Design & Corporate Communication with a concentration in public relations.  Say that five times fast 

Hobbies: I love almost anything and everything having to do with being in or on the water.  I try and spend as much time as I can on a boat over the summer months.  I don’t care that I live an hour outside New York, I’m a crazed Boston sports fan and proud of it! I love live music in all shapes and sizes and try to go to as many concerts as possible.  One of my favorite things to do is wine and dine with my friends.  I’m a big fan of cooking a big meal but love going out and experiencing a great meal as well.

Experience: In my pre-Engage121 life, I was an account director at a technology company.  I sold video streaming technologies for qualitative market research.

One thing you’d never guess about me: Of all the things in the world you can have phobias of (spiders, heights, snakes, small spaces, etc.), I’m terrified of helium balloons.  A fear I’m not proud of, but it is what it is.

What is your goal for being at Enage121? I hope to continue to learn about the ever-changing world of social media so I can contribute to an effective and enjoyable experience for our clients.
